The one you love stopped by to see me today, Said she just couldn't tell you she was goin' away I took her to the station, and I held her as she cried, And she asked me if I would tell you goodbye Have I got some blues for you, your baby's gone Have I got some blues for you, you're all alone I hate to be the one who has to bring you this bad news, Have I got some blues for you I wish you could've heard it on the news tonight, Or read it in the mornin' paper in black and white Then I wouldn't have to be the one who breaks your heart in two, But she told me she'd found somebody new Have I got some blues for you, your baby's gone Have I got some blues for you, you're all alone I hate to be the one who has to bring you this bad news, Have I got some blues for you Have I got some blues for you
